Titans Release WR Lavelle Hawkins

Jim Wyatt reports that the Titans have informed WR Lavelle Hawkins on Wednesday that he is being released.

Hawkins, 26, was set to make $1.9 million this season, but with the addition of Kevin Walter during free agency and the fact that they traded up for Justin Hunter, it seemed inevitable that a receiver would be released at some point. Hawkins finished the 2012 season with five catches for 62 yards receiving in seven total games.
